Caris LeVert returned to New York with the team last night and was evaluated today by Nets’ Team Orthopedist Dr. Martin O’Malley at the Hospital for Special Surgery.

Following the evaluation, LeVert was diagnosed with a subtalar dislocation of the right foot.

“Fortunately, tests performed this morning revealed that there are no fractures and only moderate ligament damage,” said Dr. O’Malley. “While the optics of this injury may have appeared to be more severe, surgery will not be required. Caris will begin a period of rehabilitation with the Nets’ performance staff, following which he is expected to return to full strength and resume all basketball activities without any limitations this season.”

Caris LeVert suffered a serious right leg injury in the first half of Monday's game between the Brooklyn Nets and Minnesota Timberwolves.

LeVert was taken immediately to a local hospital for further evaluation.

LeVert came down hard on his right leg after colliding with Jeff Teague on an attempted chase-down block.

LeVert had injuries in college that ended his junior and senior seasons.

"There was really just no words," Joe Harris said after the game. "We didn't talk even when we came in at halftime. There was nothing to be said. Guys were crying. It was really that horrific just to see."

Spencer Dinwiddie will become eligible to sign a contract extension with the Brooklyn Nets on December 8th.

The most Brooklyn can offer Dinwiddie is $48 million over four seasons.

“Oh, I mean, I’d love to have one,” Dinwiddie said. “I’d love to be here. This organization has shown me hospitality and given me an opportunity like I haven’t had in the NBA before, so I’m definitely indebted to them, and if they decide to sign me, I’d be one of the happiest players in the league.”

Sources say a $48 million would appeal to Dinwiddie.

The Nets have to balance their commitment to Dinwiddie along with their wish for cap space. Dinwiddie has a $1.6 million cap hold and the Nets will own his Bird Rights, which would allow them to re-sign him to the same four-year, $48 million deal.

Dinwiddie isn't weighing the risk of injury against a long-term deal.

“No, not really,” Dinwiddie said. “If I didn’t want to be here, it would just be a flat out ‘no,’ and I’d tell everybody, ‘Hey, I want to go into unrestricted free agency, and that’s just what it is.’ It really, as it is now, the ball is in their court. I guess I’m always a bridesmaid so far in the NBA. I’m ready to be a bride, I guess.”
